CEO transition sets the next test

Rigaud has led Corbion for eight years and will remain in office until the 2027 AGM. The supervisory board has started a succession process, while Corbion plans to propose Alexander Wessels for appointment to the supervisory board at an extraordinary meeting, according to Corbion.

The leadership change arrives during the execution of Corbion's BRIGHT 2030 strategy. Wessels brings experience from life sciences, specialty chemicals and food ingredients, including senior roles at Caldic, Archroma and DSM Pharmaceutical Products, the company said.

Corbion reported organic sales of EUR 337.4 million and adjusted EBITDA of EUR 51.0 million for the second quarter of 2026. The company also refined its full-year adjusted EBITDA margin outlook to above 16 percent, according to its investor-relations release dated July 31, 2026.
